Contemporary home by Klaarchitectuur architecture
An irregular shape for an unusual contemporary home, the parallelogram provides this modern structure with interesting nooks and openings, and irregular windows to illuminate its spacious interiors. Designed by architecture firm Klaarchitectuur, the modern rural House Kempeneers in Belgium boasts a grey-brick exterior that’s interesting, to say the least. The contemporary style home’s modern, jagged profile and fascinating openings lure you in. The 350m2 ground floor and 120m2 second floor are small, but sweet. Minimalist interiors are sleek and stylish, leaving your attention to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the green, pastoral views. A cool, “floating” staircase leads up to the second level, where a large outdoor terrace provides panoramic views of the whole neighborhood.
Lake House Architecture by Saunders Architecture
This Lake House Architecture is design by Saunders Architecture. With architect Todd Saunders of Saunders Architecture at the helm, this modern, boat-inspired vacation home boasts just the right blend of rustic charm and contemporary influences. With a wood roof that wraps around to form the rear wall and the floor, this compact cottage retreat is like a warm embrace, welcoming residents and their lucky guests to relax and take in the amazing lake view via the fully glazed front facade. A large deck stretches out across the front of the lake house, which is nestled peacefully between forest and the waterfront. The interior of this wood cabin design is minimalist, pared right down to the base essentials. This unique house design was somewhat of an experimental venture for this young, Norway-based architecture firm. “The main dilemma for emerging architects is finding clients willing to take a chance with young, enthusiastic architects that have limited experience,” according to Saunders Architecture. “When we first started our firm, instead of looking for clients we went looking for plots, to build an experimental structure. In doing this, we could pursue our architectural vision in line with our convictions: uncompromising, original and respect for the landscape.”

Situated in the peaceful suburbs, this modern, innovative home combines contemporary and unusual elements in its two-storey design.

This upper floor gives this unique house design its modern flavor amidst the rolling green hills that surround it. Enclosing the upper level, window screens boast cut-outs that cast funky patterns of light onto the home minimalist interiors. An inner patio becomes the central focal point of this Italian house design, connecting the home top two floors with its underground level and an awesome rooftop garden.[via]
Contemporary Belair Residence by Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects
The contemporary Belair Residence by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects is set on a two-acre plateau in Belair, California, where vistas of Westwood, the Pacific and the Canyon have inspired this home of indoor and outdoor luxury living. Set 60 ft. below the access road, this modern home incorporates the various layers of the landscape within its courtyard, terraces and lawns. An inverted cone creates a contemporary focal point and highlights the home’s sculptural presence. The main volume of this lavish home occupies the north, south and west of the site, virtually enclosing the kitchen, breakfast room and dining room in glass. The main floor also houses the staff quarters, while three children’s bedrooms and a games room occur on the second level. The top level accommodates a little piece of heaven – a private guest suite and a massage room. The site’s eastern end features a sauna building and guest house overlooking the pool and a terrace. Interiors are minimalist, mirroring the white-and-wood facade and the home’s geometric elements
